At Omniwire, trust is at the core of everything we do. That’s why we’re excited to share that Omniwire has achieved SOC 2 accreditation, a globally recognized standard that validates our dedication to securing client data and maintaining the highest levels of operational integrity.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for Omniwire, but it’s more than just a certification. It’s a reflection of our commitment to creating a secure, compliant, and trustworthy environment for our clients, partners, and shareholders.
What is SOC 2?
SOC 2, short for System and Organization Controls 2, is a rigorous attestation framework designed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It focuses on assessing a company’s ability to securely manage data based on five key principles:
- Security: Protecting systems against unauthorized access.
- Availability: Ensuring systems are operational and accessible as agreed.
- Processing Integrity: Delivering accurate, timely, and authorized services.
- Confidentiality: Safeguarding sensitive information.
- Privacy: Protecting personal information and ensuring compliance with regulations.
Achieving Type 1 accreditation means that Omniwire’s controls, processes, and systems have been thoroughly reviewed and meet these high standards at a specific point in time.
Why This Matters
For clients, partners, and shareholders, our SOC 2 accreditation is more than a badge—it’s a tangible demonstration of our commitment to safeguarding the sensitive data entrusted to us. Here’s why this milestone is significant:

- Proactive Compliance: By achieving SOC 2, Omniwire is staying ahead of regulatory demands.
- Operational Excellence: This accreditation demonstrates that Omniwire has robust systems and processes in place.

The Journey to Accreditation
Achieving SOC 2 accreditation was a collaborative effort across our organization. Working with trusted third-party audit firm @A-LIGN, we underwent a thorough review of our internal controls, security protocols, and risk management systems.

- Implementing robust controls to ensure compliance with the SOC 2 framework.
- Engaging in a rigorous audit to validate that our processes meet the highest standards of security and reliability.
While this achievement is significant, it is only the beginning. Maintaining SOC 2 compliance is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuous improvement as we work toward achieving SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation.
